This invention relates to the manufacture] of'candy known as hard-boiled goods, which is usually marketed in the form of stick candy.

My present inven on is designed as an im provement upon the process of making candy described in United States Letters Patent No. 800,511, dated September 26, 1905, and reissued October 9, 1906 as 'No. 12,540. V In my said patent the article produced was com- ,pos ed of a'body portion containing a mixture of sugar, glucose, 'Water and a common fat, which body portion was surrounded by an outer'shell composed of sugar, glucose and water, the outer shell having a smaller per 'centage than was contained in the body portion.

- vember 20, 1906', as No. 12,563, I have described a. 'pr0cess 'ofmaking "candy in which the article produced is-similar to the one just above described except that the outer shell also had fat in its composition.

I have-found that stick candy made in ac} cordance with-my aforesaid patents enabled metofuse a large percentage of glucose (as high-as'eighty per cent), and, furthermore,-

that [such candy could be made in warm weather and withstand dampness without becoming sticky. Candy made in accordance with my aforesaid patents will remain clear and dry' for a long period of time and will not become stale orcchange color.

My present invention is an improvement upon my former processes, andv consists in Specification of Iietters Pate lite.

I have found that according to my present inyentionhard-boiled goods and especially stick candy can be made in cool weather without the use of'a wrapper and will keep clear and fresh durin the -continuation of cold weather, but w on the temperature rises and the air becomes humid the-tendency of candy made according to my present improvement to mat and" stick togetheng I Where paraflin paperv is employed to wrap the articles separately, of course, this tendency is not objectionable even in Warm weather.
